It's said that celebrity deaths come in threes. The same must be true for celebrity breakups, because it's been a rough month for anyone with a vested interest in the personal lives of the young entertainment industry.
First, there was Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid. Then, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris called it quits. Now Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama have announced their split after nearly six years.

An exceptionally mature note from an exceptionally sweet couple. The "Confident" singer has credited Valderrama's support for her continued sobriety, now four years strong, and the ongoing management of her mental illness. (Lovato has spoken out about her struggles with bipolar disorder, as well as eating disorders and substance abuse.)
